Interactive T-Shirts from Shikisai

Published May 24, 2008 in Cool T-shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)

Shikisai shirts are awesome. They “explore the alternative possibilities of t-shirt design, through the use of black print on white surface”. This is essentially a fancy way of saying they make really cool shirts. Check it out for yourself:

A bath plug with an actual chain hanging down the front.

Venetian blinds with an actual cord (that when pulled makes the blinds go up).

I’m not sure if I would actually wear these, as wearing a chain on my chest all day might get uncomfortable, but it’s still an incredibly awesome concept.

Heard about these from tcritic.

Rock a giant beard without vesting any time in one. And while you’re at it, why don’t you add a second pair of everything on your face. Make sure your girlfriend knows which mouth is yours.

There are entire lines dedicated to mustaches and cupcakes, so why not a shirt with a beard? Get it for $36.00 at Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. It’s printed on the most comfortable shirt ever, American Apparel tri-blend.

It’s simple, but a hilarious design nonetheless. If you don’t know what this is about, then you don’t spend enough time on Youtube (probably a good thing actually). However, here’s the video it’s based on so everyone can get a refresher.

Cornelius Said What? T-Shirt from Kindred

Kindred was kind enough to send me this (and one other) shirt to be reviewed. Kindred is one of my favorite stores out there, so I recommend everyone check them out.

They print all their shirts on American Apparel, which is a big boost in my opinion. The shirts and very comfortable and made in the USA to boot.

As for the design, I really like it (which makes sense, given that I picked it). I’m assuming its based on Planet of the Apes, but irregardless, there’s just something about the design that makes me laugh.  I guess I’m just a sucker for these type of designs. Also, Kindred uses quite nice printing techniques, as the actual print is very soft and hardly (if at all) noticeable.

So, check this shirt out, and check out Kindred. They’ve got great designs on great t-shirts with great printing techniques.

Season 6 Launch at Fullbleed

Fullbleed recently (or at least I think recently) launched their Season 6 line of tees. All their shirts have great designs, they’re one of my favorite lines out there, so I recommend you check them out. All the shirts are printed on American Apparel and are priced relatively cheaply ($16). $16 for a nice design on an American Apparel shirt is a good deal in my opinion.

Check out Season 6.
